Today I got IE8 RC-1 through Windows Update. Just to find out that it's still buggy :rolleyes:

Nope, I've gone back top using IE exclusively.

I was using both IE and Firefox, but then last month I caught a fricken' root kit from a banner ad that I didn't even click on. It probably was NOT Firefox's fault, but I was pissed off so I decided to blame it.

If it really came from a "banner" and that banner was a simple GIF/PNG/JPEG banner, then this would indicate an exploit in Firefox (in the version you were using at that time) indeed.
However if it was a Flash banner, which I assume, then this would indicate an exploit in Adobe's Flash plugin, which basically is the same one for all browsers!

With the recent Zero-Day-Exploit in mind and how long it took them to finally release the bugfix, IE really is the very last browser I'd use for "security" reasons :eek:
Even the Federal Office for Information Security (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesamt_f%C3%BCr_Sicherheit_in_der_Informationstechnik) did recommend to not use InternetExplorer, because of that serious exploit...

opera... and keep it up to date.
chromium/chrome is not a bad choice too (keep it up to date as well...).
IE is the most unsecure software ever created.
